So I'm betting some of you saw what was posted to the Soles of SilkInstagram (@SolesofSilk) and Twitter (@SolesofSilk) accounts yesterday afternoon. I wonder how many of you have been waiting, and wondering, when the normal shoot blog would be published? Well, if you were, the wait is over. I do apologize for the delay. I had plans with some friends to attend Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia after the shoot. I didn't get home until just a few minutes ago.If you're in the dark about who shot today, it was the cousin duo of Mindee and Marcy. This is the third time I've been lucky enough to have these two together in a set. Just like the past two times, it was just so relaxed and an overly goofy experience! Here's how it went.I met up with the girls at Mindee's place around 1:30 p.m. Right away the atmosphere was one of fun. The girls were joking around with each other, and of course, I had a few tossed my way. I'm sure I deserved a few of them for things I happened to say though.

The girls put on their M&M's gear and Mindee cleared off her bed. We've had the idea for this M&M's set for a few years now and I've had the items purchased for over one year. If you haven't figured it out, the idea is based off the fact that both these cousins have names that being with the letter "M," so hence, "M&M." Brilliant, I know!After the girls took to the bed and the bowls of M&M's were put in front of the them, they began eating them right away. I gave them a look and said to be sure to save some. They laughed and asked me if I wanted any. I said yes, but I'll get mine slightly used in the middle of the set. The girls just laughed.Mindee and Marcy started this set off in toe socks, which is the first time I've done toe socks since Lisa Tyler's debut set back in 2004. To be honest, they're not my favorite kind of socks, but I do get some requests for them. When I saw these socks at the store, I knew they'd be perfect for the set theme and bought them.The girls did a number of poses in the socks when we began. I kept shooting and quickly realized that we were already a bunch of photos in. I joked that it's time to get these socks off. The girls gave me crap for giving them orders, but the socks soon came off. Once they each had one foot bare, I shot them with all their feet out to get that mix of socks and barefoot all in one set. I also got in my first good long foot rub on those bare feet too - one belonging to each girl. Yeah, I was loving life. The girls sure seemed to be too as they both laid back and talked about what was going on with life. Marcy claimed the foot rubs were her favorite part of doing the shoots and even asked if I remembered the time I gave her a foot rub that lasted longer than an hour at a park on a past shoot. Of course, I remembered that day!Eventually the foot massage would end and our shoot would get back underway. The girls went at each other's feet, sticking M&M's between each other's toes and then finally tugging off the remaining socks. I kept stealing the M&M's for a snack. Hey, I was hungry! That's also when the girls told me the newly bare feet needed the same massage treatment their other feet had gotten earlier. Back to rubbing these girls' feet I went. No complaints either!This massage lasted a very long time. It got to the point where I had to actually stop it because if it went on much longer, I would have been late for my event that evening. Sadly, I had to give up the four feet before me and get back to finishing up the set.The final photos of this set involved all barefoot shots. The girls stuck them into the bowls full of M&M's and then out toward the camera as well. The photo count on the set was so high by this point, but I kept shooting until the last minute.The finale for the on camera fun came after the photos were finished. I told the girls to have at it with a pillow fight and tickle fest. I'm surprised these two didn't fall off the bed at any point. They were all over the place.When the tickling was over, Mindee had to run out for a few minutes and I was supposed to get my stuff packed up and go meet with my friends. Well, that turned into a 20 minute foot rub with Marcy instead. She wouldn't even let me stop for a minute either. She stuck her feet right out to me, giving me the hint if I paused. Marcy and I used the foot rub time to talk about getting together, hopefully next week, for more photos. The original plan was to shoot a solo one of her after the M&M's set, but all the foot rubs and large photo burned a lot of time off the clock. Again, no complaints! Be sure to check this blog and the site's social media accounts to stay informed about Marcy's impending shoots. I'm super excited and I'm sure you're eager to see anything we do.

So today something happened that has happened countless times since I opened Soles of Silk in 2004 - I did a photo shoot with Mindee. Although this is something we've done many times, it's always awesome when I'm able to shoot the site's most photographed model. Today was no different.Mindee and I met up around 1 p.m. We discussed a few ideas for sets, but decided to more or less, just go with the flow. The only theme, if you will, that we decided to do was one with some comic book themed apparel and books. We had wanted this theme back during our mini-vacation a few months ago, but weren't able to. Well, we did today and it was the first set that we did.

Mindee doing a set my fellow comic book fans will love.

For this first set we took a drive to a waterfront area I've used before. Knowing the area is never populated, I figured it would be the perfect place for Mindee to pull off her Supergirl socks while reading some of the Supergirl books I also brought along. Add in that Supergirl shirt she was wearing and this set had some major nerd appeal. And speaking of nerd appeal, did any fellow comic nerds notice that not only did Mindee do a Power Girl set for Wu's Feet Links, "Piggies & Power Girl," but has now done a Supergirl one too? I won't go into details, but the comic fans will see why that makes sense.The set went along quickly. I even joked with Mindee today that our photo count is always much higher than I think it to be when I glance down at the view screen. "You think you're a pro, or something," I said to her at one point.As she's done before in her sets with socks, Mindee pulled the socks off her feet ever so slowly. I got in a few shots with them almost off, but not quite. I love those shots and Mindee sure knows how to have fun with them.Once Mindee finally pulled off both socks I photographed those heavenly size 8's every which way possible. One of the shots I posted to the Soles of Silk Instagram (@SolesofSilk), a fan named foot_portrait wrote, "How can she have such perfect feet?" I honestly do not know, but one thing I do know is I've been telling her they're perfect from the first time I saw them. Why do you think I love shooting her so much? Well, that and the fact that she's the best female friend I've ever had. But yeah, those feet... so damn cute!When we finished up this set we debated on what we'd do next. Mindee had brought a few different outfits since we didn't really iron out what we were doing, or where we were going before we left. What we decided on was a set along this small river in the middle of the woods. I figured it would be a great nature setting, especially with autumn upon us and the leaves changing.

This set took some walking before we were able to shoot. Mindee and I made the epic journey down some paths, some of which were a muddy mess, and others, obscured by fallen trees and bushes. We made it though, even after having to do some rock jumping right off the shoreline.The setting was beautiful, but it got even better with Mindee in the camera's view finder. I loved her shirt choice for the set and think it just capped off the whole fall theme that we decided to go with.It didn't take us long to get Mindee's feet front and center in some of the shots. Her feet got a little dirty, but she brushed them off for the most part. Well, so did I, but you know what I meant.Since it was an overly cloudy day, Mindee and I tried to make use of getting the most out of the background. In the set you'll see Mindee sticking her feet out in front of a train bridge, a small set of rapids, a large rock face, and countless trees with leaves changing over. The area we shot with right in the middle of all that. We just had to pick which way we wanted to shoot.This would be the last set we shot on the day. We thought about doing a third, but the sun was close to going down and with the long walk back to the car, we decided to just call it a day. Tomorrow, however, there is a chance that Mindee will be back in front of my camera again - and mostly likely, not alone. Guess you'll have to check back to see what all this is about, if our plans indeed do go through.

Contact the Models

A number of the Soles of Silk models have their very own Instagram and Twitter accounts where fans can reach them. Please feel free to let them know how much you enjoyed their work here, but above all else, please be respectful. If you don't see a model on the lists below, they do not have accounts set up to be reached. For those models, please forward any comments to the main Soles of Silk accounts.

Wu's Feet Links Feature Sets, Interviews, & Columns

Back in 2005, only a few short months after Soles of Silk debut, Carmen became the first model to represent the site as a Wu's Feet Links feature model. I was deeply honored that Wu would ask me to take part in this prestigious section on his site. What I didn't know, however, was that he'd ask me to do so over and over again - each time with different models from Soles of Silk. My models have always been flattered to be picked to do these sets and I've always made sure to do some of my best work with each and every one of them.

After Wu's passing in 2014, I made sure the feature section would be a top priority in rebooting his site - Olivia's "Back to Business" site saw the relaunch of that section. Below you will find each and every set ever to be featured on Wu's Feet Links from Soles of Silk. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.

In addition to the feature sets, two more items I decided to reboot was the Interviews and Columns sections. With the success of blogs today, I decided it would be a wise move to take those sections and create blogs for each one. I moved over all the interviews and columns from the past and have since taken over conducting/writing both. Below you will also find any interviews and/or columns that predominately feature one of the Soles of Silk models. (Note: A couple of the interviews listed are with models who either run, or at one time, ran their own sites and/or clips stores. These models also posed for Soles of Silk, so I decided to feature them here as well.)
